ICT Impact on Energy Efficiency – The EnRiMa Project

EnRiMa objectives
• develop a decision-support system (DSS) to enable operators to control energy flows and ensure energy efficiency in public buildings
• to support building operators in managing a set of conflicting goals such as to minimize costs, improve energy efficiency, reduce emissions, sustain comfort requirements of the occupants and at the same time to manage risks and uncertainties.

Example of modeling energy flows with Sankey diagrams
Future Challenges Related to ICT
• integration and use of large amounts of data, (e.g. sensor, weather, occupant), information and knowledge
• user friendly adaptation, customization and evolvement of decisions over time,
• amalgamation of decision making based on mathematical models with business strategy development based for example on conceptual models and balanced scorecards
• integration of building energy management systems with other information systems used by the operators
